Also would it best I keep in her? the OH says let her out but im not too keen on that.

Any advice appreicated

Other than that, does she seem OK? If so, yes a no-food interval to let her insides settle down, then something bland like steamed fish or chicken. I'd keep her indoors too, she may have eaten something outside that caused the runs. Also, you can keep an eye on her and see if she is OK or worsens.

sorry to hear Mika has Diarrhea and hope she's feeling better tomorrow. Probably is best to starve her for 24 hours like Eileen says. I understand how difficult it is to keep a cat in that is used to coming and going at will but if you can possibly keep her in i'm sure it will be best.

Poor wee girl, hope she is fine again soon. Timmy had a few "loose" days last week as well. Hate to see them not 100%. Hope she is better very soon. Hugs xx

Missy, had Diarrhea during last night & I'm afraid I fed her & she was off out before I found it. Her tray is in a walk in store cupboard & she had walked passed her tray & 'gone' on the floor behind it. It's the first time in her eight years she's had Diarrhea. She ate very little all yesterday but had some last night just before I went to bed. I shall try starving her now until tomorrow.

Edit.
I'd better explain, the cupboard stores things like toilet rolls, cat litter, laundry stuff, wild bird food & my tumble drier .....

I hope Missy is better today. I kept Mika in all evening and last night (she's kept in of a night anyway). did not give her any food at all last night. got up this morning no diarrhea at all. fed her and let her out. she seems a lot better today!
